This skit takes place on an airplane. Participants enter and form up in two rows, seated. The Announcer becomes the pilot at the front. Various sound effects of flying are suitable.

Props: Seating for the pilot and two rows of passengers.

The plane is flying along when the pilot announces:

Pilot: Ladies and gentlemen, I’m sorry to tell you that the far starboard engine is overheating and the engineer is going to shut it down. Don’t worry, the plane is quite able to fly on three engines but the flight will take about an hour longer.

Passengers:Mumble unhappiness but then settle down.

Pilot:(A few moments later.) Ladies and gentlemen, I must tell you that the outside port engine has low oil pressure and the engineer must shut it down also. Again, don’t worry as the plane will fly on two engines but we will be delayed by two hours.

Passengers:More disgruntled mumbling then the sound of an engine sputtering.

Pilot:(After more flying with a tight, controlled voice.) This is your pilot. You will have noticed that the engineer has shut down the remaining port engine due to a faulty fuel line. The plane will fly on one engine but this is very difficult and we will arrive four hours late!

Passenger : (Loud voice.) What a rotten airline! If that last engine goes we’ll be up here forever.

Characters: Several Cubs around fake campfire pretending to cook hot dogs on sticks. Two Cubs dressed as mosquitoes--antennae, wings etc.

Setting: Boys around fire keep slapping as if they are being attacked by mosquitoes throughout the skit. As the scene opens, the two mosquitoes enter the stage and continue walking randomly around the boys as they deliver their lines.

Mosquito #1: Hey, I got a good one! Which sport do we mosquitoes like best?
Mosquito #2: Easy! Skin diving. Say, did you hear what the Cub Scout said to the mosquito.

Mosquito #1: No, what?
Mosquito #2: Don't bug me!

Mosquito #1: Are you related to any of the bugs around here?
Mosquito #2: Sure. My ant.

Mosquito #1: Did you hear what the mother grasshopper said to her children?
Mosquito #2: No -- tell me.
Mosquito #1: Hop to it!
